Xbox 360 Fall Update
Entered on: September 10, 2008 8:17 AM by Radmobile

So the fall update is looking to be pretty sweet.  There are going to be little avatars you can "Barbie" up.  That alone had me sold.  But a more interesting feature I've read about is that you'll be able to save your games to the hard drive.  You'll still need the disc in the machine to play the game I assume, but it'll make load times less of an issue and it should quiet the machines a bit since the disc drive won't be constantly spinning.  Now we play the waiting game.

First the Large Hadron Collider is operational and now XBOX Fall Update! We are in an age of marvels my friends. I miss Bert's technological savvy. No doubt he is monitoring these developments.

Ouch! I guess I should've prefaced that with a "Caution, not a discussion about working out, dieting, frooking" warning.  I'll try and be more considerate in the future.

Rad, the only thing you forgot was "F the Bone" at the end of your statement. I love your new fiesty side!

The Large Hadron Collider past it's first major test in case anyone was wondering!

Here's a quote from an article regarding the Collider Bone, from a scientist who has been speaking out against the project and the potential damage it could cause. Some scientist believe it could create micro black holes which could destroy the earth.

"Someone will spot a light ray coming out of the Indian Ocean during the night and no one will be able to explain it, retired Professor Otto Roessler told London's Mail on Sunday. "Very soon the whole planet will be eaten in a magnificent scenario — if you could watch it from the moon. A Biblical Armageddon. Even cloud and fire will form, as it says in the Bible."

Maybe as Ross reads this offline, he won't be able to control himself and will return and post a rebuttal to this quote....

This a rap from a girl that went to Lowell High School who works at CERN.  It's kind of funny, and educational.  I didn't know her but apparently she was an acquaintance of Annie's.

She is one smart wigger.... almost making me hernie.... almost.  It must be sweet being the coolest person at the particle accelerator.

I thought people were all talking about the Hadron Colander.  I was about to contribute some stuff on clean vegetables.  Now it will have to wait.


 
From: NickNick Entered on: September 10, 2008 3:14 PM

Thank you Bunky.  I've been waiting for Religion to come into this.  Especially since there's this wonderful Higgs Bosom that they call the "God Particle"

And I just read an article about a scientist that is close to creating a new type of life!!

Oh the humanity!!


 
From: The Bone Entered on: September 10, 2008 3:31 PM

the LHC is bad ass. From my understanding, it will be the single most important tool to further our understanding of particle physics and all that it entails - string theory, symmetry, dark matter, extra dimensions, etc. The notion that it will bring about the end of the world is ludicrous but if it does, at least we'll go out with a bang. 


 
From: Bunky Entered on: September 10, 2008 4:17 PM

Oh no. Bone is smart too! Please excuse me while I return to thread 302 for some alone time....

Too true. I can't understand why this isn't front page and on every news channel. This is truly exciting stuff. It saddens me a bit to see how much people just don't care about this stuff.
 
From: Bunky Entered on: September 10, 2008 5:08 PM

Part of it Nick Nick is because the results are all speculation at this point. Once the data is analyzed and anything conclusive comes out of it, it will be all over the news.

Actually, if you bitches were to read Foxnews.com, you would know that it has been front page on their website with extensive coverage up until late this morning.


 
From: NickNick Entered on: September 10, 2008 5:51 PM

Fox news.  Jesus.  Are you trying to kill us.  That would be like listening to Limbaugh 24/7.

Oh, and Bunky.  I found another picture of you getting ready for another day riding behind a boat.  This outfit is much more disturbing than the butt plug that you wore before.  But hey, to each their own.

Bunky in a Balloon suit.

The GR Press had a front page article on her Youtube video a couple days back.  Pretty cool... Lowell is home to hot farm girls AND scientist hotties!


 
From: Bunky Entered on: September 10, 2008 7:39 PM

Stay off Fugly Nick Nick. Say what you will about my tube Nickers, it is super sweet and alot of fun! Though I have to admit, there are a lot of WTF looks when you cruise by in that Sumo Tube!

 It is about time for another Bone photo!

Oh Jack, I rented the inflated Sumo suits and wrestling mat for my nephew's going away party we are throwing before he heads off to boot camp... It comes with helmets and inflated suits that blow you up to make you the size of a 400 lb. Sumo wrestler. I will take some pics. I am not sure if I will be able to particpate because of the nose surgery Cry Anyhow, it will be a sweet suprise for our guest!

 

 


 
From: The Bone Entered on: September 10, 2008 8:05 PM

I don't have a camera Bunky. But I will say I'm definitely more ripped and muscular than the last pic I posted.

F the Bone!

Honestly, this isn't front page news because it's not something that can be explained in 2 minutes.  I was trying to explain to people at work what it was and why it was important and got answers like "yeah, I don't understand any of that stuff, but whatever".  It's what the Republicans refer to as intellectual elitism.  But if you don't believe that the extinction of mankind will be the greatest human achievement (worth 100 XBOX Live Gamer Points), the LHC is a huge step toward understanding everything and giving us a means not only to understand the universe, but also how to travel between galaxies.

While there is a remote chance it will rip a hole in space-time, they have some scientists standing by with an enormous tube of JB Weld (not to be confused with JayB weld which, while sticky, won't repair our dimensional fabric).

Although, if it does produce a black hole and consume the world, we won't go out with a bang.  As you approach the event horizon of a black-hole, your body will accelerate at different rates relative to proximity (your feet will accelerate faster than your head, and as your feet get closer, they'll accelerate faster...), and time will slow to near infinity, relative to an outside observer.  In other words, we'll all spend eternity being stretched until we're all threads no thicker than the most elementary particle.

That thought does scare me, in theory, but if Stephen Hawking (aka Steve-N-Spell) think's it's an acceptable risk, who am I to argue?

Steve-N-Spell. HA HA HA. I just snorted here at work. From what I understand about the black holes is that they won't have enough mass to stay in existance. They'll "wink out."
 
From: Bunky Entered on: September 11, 2008 10:09 AM

Nice explanation Robot.

Bone, leaving your camera in Hawaii and flaunting the new ripped Bone, makes you a bit of a tease!

However, my iPhone does accept photos and I imagine you did not leave your phone home.

F the Bone! Oh yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!


 
From: The Bone Entered on: September 11, 2008 1:31 PM

You can go out like spaghetti if you want, I'm going out with a bang!


 
From: Bunky Entered on: September 11, 2008 2:22 PM

I am going out looking at thread 302!


 
From: The Bone Entered on: September 11, 2008 3:59 PM

I'm worried what would happen if I'd have included crankage in the photo 302


 
From: Bunky Entered on: September 11, 2008 5:25 PM

No, crankage necessary. I prefer the boxers look. It is way hotter. It keeps the mystery going...

Besides, if you showed the crank, Nick Nick wouldn't have time to play Spore because he would be checking it out all the time and Fatty would have the picture enlarged to poster side and hang it in his house.

LIVE UPDATE:

Xbox LIVE is having a scheduled downtime on Monday, September 29 starting at 12:01am Pacific Time. It will be down for 24 hours as we prepare for the cool new stuff coming your way in the new Xbox experience.

Creeko - Good news!  The update is free! ;)


 
From: NickNick Entered on: September 23, 2008 5:58 PM
Let's not forget that the 360 is only $199 now. That's still $199 dollars more than I can afford.
 
From: Bunky Entered on: September 23, 2008 7:56 PM
I went full Creeko with my XBOX today (no, not Viva Pinata) and watched a movie for the first time! I broke it in with some Sex and the City!

Cool!  Now, did you use the regular DVD tray?  Or did you put the disc directly into the 360's vagina?  I also heard that after watching that on your 360, you'll get the "red ring" every 28 days.  Let me know how that works out for you.

******PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT*******

24 hours?  Really?  Here's a tip; if you have a memory stick, you might want to move your profile to it before the update period.  When the service comes back up, they're going to be seriously busy, and if you have to recover your profile for any reason, you might have the same problem we had a few months back where some people couldn't recover their profiles for days/weeks. 

Remember, Crashy the Bear says, "Keep your profile on a memory stick or I'll bend you over and make sweet love to the smallest opening I can find..."


 
From: Bunky Entered on: September 24, 2008 8:52 AM
Oh. That explains why I got the ring on my elite. I was wondering what that disc tray was for!
 
From: Bunky Entered on: September 25, 2008 10:40 AM
Well I did get a sweet random message from FreelancePuppet last night on the XBOX wanting to know if I sucked crank (he used another term) as well as I sucked at Halo. Monkey T was amused by this. I was cornfused since I had 3 double kills bitches and more kills than him. He did not answer my reply and Monkey said I probably made him cry.
 
From: NickNick Entered on: November 7, 2008 12:28 PM

Bunky,

I dearly hope that you will be able to join GOW2 festivities tonight. I have a special place selected for you so that I can use your corpse as a delectable meat shield.

Sincerely yours, NickNick

Nick Nick, isn't it time for you to go back to swinging off Bone's balls....
